oooohh - that's gonna be tough - I have never seen another one like it in any of the hundreds of trailers, truck campers and motorhmes I have been in - now I'm taliking about my bathroom sink (rear kitchen) - the long one.

You may be better off starting over and simply fabbing something that will sit on top of your cabinet - or ditch the cabinet and install a whole new set-up

Yea, I  have been thinking of just putting in a Very small sink..

But Bigger than what I have.  Which is big enough for a gold fish

I have the rear Kitchen and corner bath...

What I've done regarding my bathroom sink is to close off the water lines to the leaking faucets, capped them and then soldered to ensure no leaks.  Removed the faucets and installed pretty white caps to cover the holes.  Sink is still there on top of cabinet, drain is still connected, but otherwise the sink is a nice place to hold a ba of toiletries.  We use the double kitchen sink (rear kitchen) to brush our teeth, wash up, etc...  one of these days I may buy a double faucet and install it and reconnect the water lines.

What I'm saying is remove the sink, the faucet and turn the top into a nice purty smooth cabinet top.  That bathroom is too small to stand there shaving or brushing your teeth - do it in the kitchen sink or grow a beard.  ;-)

That is my contribution to this.... my cent and a half.

Amen! - excellent plan. I'm only 6 foot - but can't tall you how many times I have hit my head going pee on that darn overhead cabinet in the bathroom. (Doesn't happen as often now that I drink less Scotch!!)
Hardly ever use that sink either.

I ALMOST installed a modified urinal on the vent-pipe wall in the bathroom - but then chickened out! (Think of the urinal you see in a portable toilet - you know - the ones at the ballpark, etc.)
Might re-visit that idea later (if I decide to keep the Clipper that is!)

Now that is an excellent idea!  A portapotty style urinal using the vent pipe...  that makes sense!  How would you keep the odor from venting into the bathroom, some type of trap?

Didn't make myself clear - I wasn't going to "use" the vent pipe for anything other than maybe to mount the urinal to it. I was going to try and figure out an elegant way to get the urinal to dump/pour into the toilet bowl. But then there  other more difficult challenges (how to "flush" the urinal, where/how to run the drain into the toilet, etc.)
So I put the project on hold.

Just use the sink. you can flush it by turning on the water. LOL no don't do that that's gross.

That's an even better idea!!!  Right height too!  Of course, I disabled my faucets, pinched and soldered the lines and removed the leaky old things!  But sink is still there with drain intact.  Just don't tell me wife!  he he he he he he
